There is a long way to go before returning the pearl

Since ancient times, no matter whether the emperor is really lustful or not, there will always be three palaces and six courtyards, 72 concubines, men compete for power and money, and women compete for appearance and favor.All kinds of methods emerge in endlessly, wearing masks and performing acting skills.

Another sunny day, without the noise of the little swallows, without the arrogance of Yongqi, without the Madonna of Ziwei, without the self-righteousness of Vulkan. It turns out that the Royal Garden can be so peaceful and beautiful.

Concubine Chun wandered alone among the flowers in the imperial garden, without any deliberate attire, without crowds of servants behind her, the breeze was blowing on her face, her sleeves were swaying with the wind, and even some disobedient strands of hair were naughtily freed, and flirted with the wind. dance.

The big palace maid who supported her frowned, as if she didn't understand.

"I've been with Ben Gong for a long time, why haven't I understood yet?" Concubine Chun said in a neutral tone, how could the people around her not know what she was thinking.

"My servant is stupid, I can't figure it out, but I know that there must be a reason for my mother to do this." The little maid looks not big, nor is she beautiful, she can be called pure at best.

Concubine Chun stopped, and reached out to lift her chin, "Who will you think of in this palace's attire?"

The little maid didn't even think about it, "The imperial concubine also dresses like this."

He smiled, let go of his hand, and continued to walk forward, "I like you like this, loyal and honest."

The little maid carefully supported her, listening to her praise, her face remained unchanged, it was still the same as before.

"Yes, the emperor likes it like this, and I have to change it. This time, I must be favored." Glaring at the front, the fingernails are deep in the flesh, the fifth child is useless, now, twelve and eleven Everyone is favored, only my sixth son can't get into the eyes of the emperor, hmph, when I am favored, why should my children not be favored? Who will end up with the end of the world? Now, it's still fashionable Early, the last laugh is the winner.

The two went into the pavilion to rest, the little maid wiped the stone bench clean with a handkerchief, put down the cushion, and Concubine Chun sat down to rest.

"Your Majesty, if we wait like this, can we meet the Emperor?"

"Yes. If we don't meet today, there will be tomorrow. One day, we will meet." Concubine Chun looked at the flowers that were about to wither nearby, feeling inexplicably sad.Even if the emperor didn't like him before, he would go to his palace every few days. Now, it's been half a month since he came back from the palace, and he hasn't been here once.

"Your Majesty." The little palace maid looked at Concubine Chun, hesitating whether she should say it or not.

"Go ahead."

"My servant also heard what other maids said by chance, so I don't know if it's true or not." Even if the little maid is stupid, she knows she has something to say and she can't say it.Kneeling on the ground, whispering, "They said that since the emperor returned to the palace, he has not favored anyone. Even the concubine Ling has only been there once, and left after sitting for a while. They said that the emperor... the emperor... "

"Presumptuous, can you talk about the emperor behind his back? The emperor is in a good time and he is in good health. It is impossible. From now on, you are not allowed to say these things in front of me."

"Yes." The little maid also knew that she shouldn't listen to this, let alone believe it, the emperor is in good health.

Concubine Chun clenched the veil tightly in her hand. The emperor is lustful and cannot live without a beautiful woman by his side. How could she not be favored? She must be busy with state affairs and have no time to enter the harem.Thinking of this, I realized that if I waited here, I would have no chance to meet the emperor, so why not. . . .

Stand up, leave the imperial garden, and go to a place where you have a better chance of encountering the emperor.

"How is he?" Concubine Ling asked lazily while lying on the bed.

"Your Majesty, according to the method of a servant girl, she has not let up at all. It has only been a few days. How can she not have the water spirit before? Even her skin is not as shiny as before, let alone her hands, which are full of injuries. , and scars." Lamei proudly reported the latest situation of Ziwei to Lingfei.

"That's good, go, bring her. After all, she belongs to Little Swallow, and we can't let her have any surprises."

Listening to her orders, Lamei asked suspiciously, "Mother, little Yanzi has been imprisoned in the clan mansion, there is no possibility of her coming out, why should we still care about her?"

"Hmph, if she is the only one locked up, it's impossible for her to come out. Now, there is still the fifth child with her. The emperor will definitely let them go in the end. Now, I am pregnant with a child, so I should let the maid go." ,The less trouble, the better."

After listening to Ling Fei's words, Lamei also thought about it, indeed, it's better not to move the little Yanzi's people, if she goes crazy, it's bad luck to catch someone.

"Slave maid, go and bring him here." Turn around, leave quickly, and go to the small kitchen to find someone.As soon as I got to the door, I heard voices from inside.

"Hurry up, don't be lazy." A nun stared at Ziwei who was cooking while cooking.

Ziwei has been tossed and tortured in the past few days. The lady who has never cooked before is the first time to help in the kitchen, but every time she can't do it well, she is either scalded or burned. Every day, she will Leave fresh wounds.

Ziwei quickly picked up the bird's nest porridge, "Crack..."

The bowl was so hot that I accidentally dropped it on the ground.Ziwei quickly squatted down, picked up the pieces, and kept saying, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it."

Nanny put down the things in her hands, came to Ziwei, pointed her head, "Hmph, you didn't do it on purpose, who would believe it, the emperor just punished you to come here to serve the empress, you are not grateful to the empress, but here instead. ..."

"Nurse." Lamei came in and interrupted her.

Mammy was talking vigorously, when she was interrupted, she was unhappy, and was about to scold the other party, when she turned her head, she saw Lamei, her unhappy face was filled with smiles, "It's Lamei, why did you come in person? , if you have any orders, just say it."

Lamei was not polite, and reprimanded directly, "Nurse, she is the person next to Gege. The emperor ordered her to make up for her mistakes and serve the empress, but she didn't let you bully her privately."

Without giving Mammy a chance to defend herself, she took Ziwei's hand and left.

Mammy looked at their backs and breathed a sigh of relief. Lamei finally came to pick them up. If she didn't come, she didn't know how to torment her. If she didn't torment her, Lamei would not be able to pass the test.

Lamei led her to Concubine Ling, and when she entered the room, her face was full of anger. "Your Majesty, look, those nuns bullied Ziwei because of their age, causing Ziwei to be injured all over her body."

The imperial concubine sat up in surprise, her eyes were red, and she took Ziwei's hand, "Poor child, because of the emperor's will, I had to bring you here. I originally wanted to arrange you to help out in the small kitchen, but I didn't expect Those nuns bullied you." Momo's eyes, "It's all my fault, Lamei, arrest those nuns and lock them up."

Hearing the concern in Lingfei's words, Ziwei was moved. When she was most in danger, it was Lingfei who saved her. She is so kind.

Lamei pretended to be distressed, "Mother, this is not good, they are all old people, they are old, they can't stand it when they are locked up."

"This..." Ling Fei also frowned, and turned to look at Ziwei.

"Mother, Ziwei is fine, don't lock them up, okay?"

"Then, alright." Concubine Ling thought for a while before agreeing.

Lamei pulled Ziwei, asked her to sit down, and personally applied the medicine for her.

"Sister, it's so lively here." Concubine Chun walked in, looked at the people in the room and smiled.This palace lady is the one who caused Concubine Ling almost to lose her child with Little Swallow, tsk tsk, looking at her weak figure and big pitiful eyes, she really looks like Concubine Ling, but she is more like Jiangnan than Concubine Ling woman.Unfortunately. . .Now, being tossed by concubine Ling, alas. . .I can't see it anymore.

"It's my sister's honor to come here because of my sister." Ling Fei walked up to Chun Fei and greeted her into the room.

"It's really a blessing." Concubine Chun didn't accept Concubine Ling's words, but suddenly said something with emotion.

Taking the tea from Lamei's hand, she put it in front of Concubine Chun, "Why did my sister say that, it made my sister confused."

Concubine Chun patted Concubine Ling's hand, "My sister doesn't know something. In the past, my sister didn't dare to come here because she was afraid of disturbing my sister and the emperor. Since my sister's accident, my sister wanted to come and see her, but she never dared to come. , Today, I couldn't bear it anymore, so I came to see my sister, luckily I didn't meet the emperor, otherwise, even if my sister has a few more mouths, she still can't explain it clearly."

Every time Concubine Chun said a word, the veil in Concubine Ling's hand was torn off, and the smile on her face froze.Concubine Chun, don't you just want to laugh at me because you see that I have not been favored before, but just wait, I will definitely let the emperor's mind stay here again.

"My sister wants to come, come anytime, my sister has always opened the palace door for my sister.

Hearing Concubine Ling's words, Concubine Chun laughed in her heart, she was waiting for this sentence, as long as she came here often, the possibility of seeing the emperor would be very high. "Then sister will come here often in the future."

The two sisters looked at each other, crackling sparks spread in the air, and the smiles on their faces were brighter than the other.

"Your Majesty." The maid next to Concubine Chun came to the room.

"Your Majesty, the Emperor turned over your green card tonight."

"Really." When Concubine Chun was affirmed by the little maid, her heart was full of joy, she looked at Concubine Ling proudly, hum.

"Then sister will not bother my sister. The emperor will come over at night, and my sister will go back to the palace." Chong Lingfei smiled and took the maid away.

"Boom..." Everything on the table was thrown to the ground, damn it, Concubine Chun, you are better than me except for your age and family background, other than that, what else can you compare to me.

When the child is born, I will still be favored by the emperor. Now, I will let you be embarrassed for two days.

"Lamei, send someone to guard the gate of the palace. Concubine Chun has already arrived, and other concubines will also come. I don't want to be unprepared."

Hmph, women in the palace will never miss an opportunity to make trouble.I will not give you another chance.
